Go To

Release Date: February 20, 1999

Kenan gets locked out of his dressing room and loses both his shirt and pants in the process.


  • Disproportionate Retribution: Implied. Rudy possibly hanged Kenan's clothes away on purpose because the latter insulting her dressing.
  • The Ditz: Kel mistook a woman and a headless mannequin for Kenan.
    Kel: How are you talking with no head?
  • The Dog Bites Back: Kenan makes Kel tumble down at the end for being unhelpful and getting him humiliated.
  • Failed a Spot Check: Kel doesn't grasp that the customer was wearing Kenan's clothes until Kenan points it out to him. Granted, this is Kel we're talking about.
  • Insane Troll Logic: Kel fails to see that a customer has Kenan's clothes on. When Kenan informs him on this, Kel says he thought they looked good on him.
  • Karma Houdini: Rudy somehow never gets fired or put on probation for relocating Kenan's clothes simply because the latter made some snide remarks about her clothing. You also have to wonder what she did with the money the man who bought Kenan's clothes gave her since there would be no way to record the transaction in inventory.
  • Kids Are Cruel: A couple of children harass a pantsless Kenan, with one calling him a dummy.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Kel was unhelpful and the one responsible for Kenan's humiliation throughout the episode. In the outro, he has around 40 baggings of shirts to avert being humiliated like Kenan, then Kenan makes him tumble down and he can't get up.
  • Literal-Minded: Kel thinks having a baby shower literally amounts to showering an infant. Sheryl tries to explain to him, but Kel still fails to understand.
    Kel: (with a hose and safety goggles on) Hey, Kenan! You're just in time to shower the baby!
  • Naked People Are Funny: Customers at the store laugh at Kenan with his underwear and a couple of bystanders laugh at him when he's not in his underwear.
  • Noodle Incident: There apparently was a "lawnmower incident" at Rigby's, which Kenan says was an old lady's fault.
  • Oh, Crap!: Kenan realizing he accidentally walked into Sheryl's baby shower while everyone sees him without his underwear.
  • Right Behind Me: Kenan and Kel make some rude comments involving Rudy, unbeknownst she is right behind their dressing doors.
  • Sarcasm-Blind: When Kel asks Kenan if he wants to grab his clothes for him, Kenan sarcastically responds they will just wait until they magically reappear. Kel misinterprets this as Kenan being ridiculous.
    Kel: You want me to go get 'em?
    Kel: Kenan, that'll never happen. I mean, we don't even have a magic wand or anything, and...
    Kenan: Please go find my clothes!
    Kel: See? Now that's a better idea, don't you think?
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: In the outro, after all the humiliation Kenan gets put through, he finally gets his clothes (and wallet) back by Kel and gives Kel some well-deserved payback by making him tumble down.
  • Trauma Conga Line: Kenan inadvertently insults the manager of the clothes store and gets himself locked out of his dressing room, in which Rudy, the manager, takes his clothes and places them on the hangers. He asks Kel to grab them for him, but Kel continuously forgets. Kids laugh at him for being in his underwear, and a woman accuses him of stealing her clothes when Kenan was only holding them. Kenan then rips his underwear, runs throughout town partially nude, and finally makes it home during Sheryl's baby shower.
